First half to Chapter 3 Flashcards
Highlights to note
Lipids do not include palmiers
Oxygen pulls harder on atoms.
Water is not charged
Highlights to note continued
glycogen and glucose supply animals energy
Plants get energy from starch
Know ionic and covalent bonds
What is cytology and Cell theory
Cytology is a scientific study of cells
call theory examples, all organisms are composed of cells, cell is the simplest structural and functional unit of life.
How many types of cells are there?
about 200 types of cells in human body with varied shapes.
What is the Human Cell Size?
Most cells about 10 to 15 micrometers in diameter. Limit on cells : an overly large cell cannot support itself, may rupture.
What are basic components of a cell?
Plasma (cell) membrane, surrounds cell, defines boundaries.
Cytoplasm are organelles, cytoskleton, inclusions, cystol(intracellular fluid ICF)
Etracellular fluid, fluid outside of cells, includes tissue.
What is the plasma membrane and functions?
plasma membrane is the border of the cell.
Functions are defined cell boundaries, governs interactions with other cells, controls passage of materials in and out of cell.
What are phospholipids ?
Only two fatty acids, they are main components of lipids. (Hydrophilic meaning loving lipids)(hydrophobic meaning fearing lipids)
What are Membrane proteins?
2% of the molecules but 50% of the weight of membrane
What are integral proteins?
They penetrate into the lipids.
What are transmembrane proteins?
They penetrate and go all the way through.
What are peripheral proteins?
Touches but does not penetrate the lipids.
Functions of membrane proteins are what?
There are receptors, chemical messengers. Chanel, which is constantly open. Gated which opens for certain things. Identity, identifies and distinguishes. Adhesion, blinds one cell to another.
What are enzymes ?
Catalyze reactions including digestion of molecules, production of second messenger.
Define carriers?
Bind solutes and transfer them across membrane.
